## ๐น Introduction to CNNs
### Why CNNs for Images?
Traditional fully-connected networks (DNNs) fail for images because:
- Parameter explosion: A 256x256 RGB image โ 196,608 input features
- No spatial awareness: DNNs treat pixels as independent features
- Translation variance: Objects in different positions require re-learning
### CNN Key Innovations
| Concept | Purpose | Visual Example |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|
| Local Receptive Fields | Processes small regions at a time (e.g., 3x3 windows) |  |
| Weight Sharing | Same filters applied across entire image (reduces parameters) | |
| Hierarchical Features | Early layers detect edges โ textures โ object parts โ whole objects |  |

# ๐ PyTorch Tutorial for Beginners - Part 4/6: Sequence Modeling with RNNs, LSTMs & Attention
#PyTorch #DeepLearning #NLP #RNN #LSTM #Transformer
Welcome to Part 4 of our PyTorch series! This comprehensive lesson dives deep into sequence modeling, covering recurrent networks, attention mechanisms, and transformer architectures with practical implementations.
---
## ๐น Introduction to Sequence Modeling
### Key Challenges with Sequences
1. Variable Length: Sequences can be arbitrarily long (sentences, time series)
2. Temporal Dependencies: Current output depends on previous inputs
3. Context Preservation: Need to maintain long-range relationships
### Comparison of Approaches
| Model Type | Pros | Cons | Typical Use Cases |
|------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| RNN | Simple, handles sequences | Struggles with long-term dependencies | Short time series, char-level NLP |
| LSTM | Better long-term memory | Computationally heavier | Machine translation, speech recognition |
| GRU | LSTM-like with fewer parameters | Still limited context | Medium-length sequences |
| Transformer | Parallel processing, global context | Memory intensive for long sequences | Modern NLP, any sequence task |
---
## ๐น Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
### 1. Basic RNN Architecture
### 2. The Vanishing Gradient Problem
RNNs struggle with long sequences due to:
- Repeated multiplication of small gradients through time
- Exponential decay of gradient information
Solutions:
- Gradient clipping
- Architectural changes (LSTM, GRU)
- Skip connections
---
## ๐น Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Networks
### 1. LSTM Core Concepts

Key Components:
- Forget Gate: Decides what information to discard
- Input Gate: Updates cell state with new information
- Output Gate: Determines next hidden state

| Problem | Solution | Implementation Tips |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| Mode Collapse | Mini-batch discrimination | Use
| Vanishing Gradients | Wasserstein GAN with GP | Clip critic weights or use gradient penalty |
| Unstable Training | Two Time-Scale Update Rule (TTUR) | Different learning rates for G/D |
| Poor Image Quality | Spectral Normalization |
